Pierre-Olivier Joseph Placed on IR with Undisclosed Upper-Body Injury

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph has been placed on regular injured reserve due to an undisclosed upper-body injury. This move coincided with Thatcher Demko being shifted to LTIR and the recall of Victor Mancini from the AHL. Joseph's absence, along with Tyler Myers being held out for roster management, has led to a younger Canucks defensive core.
